Danyl's too cocky on X Factor

There were some surprises in the final 24 choices on X Factor.

I wasn't expecting those annoying Irish twins to still be in the running, or Danyl, after his horrible Boot Camp rendition of Holding Back the Years.

But then I've never been a big fan. I refer you back to my blog of August 23, when I said: "I couldn't get nearly as excited about teacher Danyl as the judges, who gave him a standing ovation. I found him over-confident to the point of cockiness, with his microphone throwing and stage-name spelling of his moniker."

And he was even worse at the weekend. Please don't put him in the final 12!

Best bit of the shows was this year's Chico, the mad-eyed bloke from Belarus, who refused to accept he was out. Oh, and the girl falling over as she rushed to hug Dannii Minogue.
